How to Use the 8x8 MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I add the 8x8 MCP Server to my Windsurf environment?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and paste the Vinkius connection URL under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade to add it, then hit refresh in your MCP panel.

Q: How does the 8x8 integration handle API connection failures in Windsurf?

The agent uses check8x8status to test the API endpoint before running any messaging tasks. If the connection fails, Cascade reports the error directly in your chat so you can debug the network.

Q: Can I manage multiple client accounts with this setup?

Yes, you can query listsubaccounts to see all connected communication profiles. This lets your agent route texts or voice messages through the correct sub-account dynamically.

Trigger text alerts, verify users, and check call logs directly within your Windsurf Cascade sessions.

Automated OTP Verification with Windsurf

Cascade can spin up a verification flow without you writing the glue code. It triggers a text with `send_verification` and waits. Once your user inputs the code, Cascade calls `check_verification` to confirm it, handling the entire loop on its own. You don't have to prompt for each step of this security check. The agent reads the context of your registration form, realizes it needs to verify a number, and runs the tools in sequence.

Real-time SMS and Chat Dispatch

Send text updates or team chat notifications using `send_sms` and `send_chat_message` tools. If your build fails or a deployment completes, Cascade hooks into these tools to notify your team instantly. The agent checks delivery status on the fly with `get_sms_status`. It keeps you updated right inside your IDE workspace, so you never have to leave your code to check if a message went through.

Voice Call Tracking and Account Audits

Monitor your voice campaigns and sub-accounts using this MCP Server. Cascade calls `get_call_status` to see if a text-to-speech call landed, or runs `list_sub_accounts` to map out your communication endpoints. You can also keep an eye on your budget using `get_account_balance`. Cascade audits your spending and alerts you if funds run low, preventing sudden API lockouts.
